They have just become available over here in the UK in a variety of popular calibres. They look to me to be ideal starter guns for those on a tight budget but I was wondering if any of you guys have had any experience with them. If so please let me have your opinions. [Smile]

ditto on the sights, they suck... Looks like an old set of non-adjustable pistol sights... If you get one, plan on scoping it immediately.

With a baby on the way, I've had to cut back on gun purchases, but the kid is going to need a 22, isn't he (or she?)? I go the 22/410 "matched pair" kit for about $110. The sights are not as fully adjustable as the manual implies. Fortunately, they are dead on at 50 yards! I think a square front post and square rear notch makes a very nice aiming setup. I don't plan on changing anything. If adjustments were needed, I wouldn't be nearly as happy.

Does anyone have any experience regarding how they stand up with high pressure cartridges. I noticed they are being offered in the new 270 WSM. That ought to test any action!

I've got one in .357, love it. I scoped mine, the T.C. Contender base fits.

I love to shoot at 150-200yds. you can hear the bullet impact on target. It's also great on 'yotes out to 100 yds. It will group the Winchester 125 gr. h.p. load into about 3.5" at 100 yds.

I have a stainless or maybe dull nickle one with .410 shotgun and .17hmr the new 17 rimfire barrels. I installed a scope on the 17 barrel and my daughters love the gun, it shoots very well. I on the other hand do not know how it shoots cause my girls shoot up all the .17 I can get and wont let me near it. Its going to make for an fantastic squirrel gun his year, and the .410 is good for cottontails.
